I rather liked the bronze skin they were supposedly all supposed to have. However, like someone said before me, I suppose there could be different types. I, personally, am not enjoying the change, but I somewhat understand with the post I read in the beginning of the topic about it being their own creation, and thus, their own to change or alter as they see fit. I'm still extremely disappointed. All of these "artistic", or so they consider, in Dragon Age Origins 2 does not seem very promising. I just keep hearing about more and more changes. No, that is not all a game is, but they set a bases, a foundation for all of these in the first game which they now decide is impractical, if the case. I have hope that all of these changes are for a reason, though. If they're not, changing all of these "just for fun" seems to fall short in the justification meter for me.

The Qunari in the trailer looked really cool, though his horns were a hell of a lot larger than the Qunari in the first posts image.

[Risax]

Like MuseMajora said the Qunari in the trailer has som gigantic horns. I know Qunari without horns are considerd a rarity, but do bigger horns also imply some sort of status?

 Qunari in DAO were just tall humans with a side of stoicism.

Pretty bland basically.

I like the differentiation.

Interesting twist. Though to be perfectly honest the whole "they shave their horns off for reasons unknown" sounds a lot like "we haven't figured out a good reason for that yet." To which I can only suggest something like "they didn't feel like getting chased through every town by freaked out humans that think they look way too much like a demon or an ogre, rather than just a freaky-sized and colored human."



The whole Sten/envoy thing is ingenious though.



I also like the white skin on oh so very large horned one in the trailer. Makes him look waaaaay better in my opinion, contrasts so very well with the pure white hair. I wonder if it's a byproduct of him being a mage, are there lots of white/brown/red/demonic/etc qunari that just don't leave the cities much? Or perhaps the ones without horns all look like sten with bronze skin and no horns(hence the legends).



As a side note, seeing this concept art http://dragonage.wik...:Qunari_DA2.png makes me want a female qunari in my party. Mmmmm horns.

I think DA 2 has hit post Fantasy RPG genre and now has become Fantasy-Scifi Hybrid Rpg with all the new characters having some sort of Super Power. Or maybe they just look like super heroes & villians. They better have a good explanation for all these, or it just another form of wild imagination.

[orswich]

i kinda like the new look.



as for explaining why some have horns and others do not.. maybe a caste system is in place within qunari society where those with horns are considered more powerful or "pure" (much like old East Indian caste system where those with light brown skin were considered more pure than those with dark skin who were considered unclean)



or maybe some cross breeding between humans and qunari (since they have been in human lands for quite a few years now), this could explain Sten (also could explain his crazy devotion to qunari morals "trying to prove he is qunari at heart" and not a half breed like other qunari think of him, trying to gain acceptance)



David Gaider would have more of an idea than me.. but just some ideas... when you have an open imagination anything is possible, and not every little detail needs a scientific explaination

Over ten different Qunari could actually be seen, first ofcourse Sten. But in the mage's tower in the fade, you can see Sten's companions. Also you can encounter Qunari mercenaries a lot of times in the game. So if all qunari suddenly look like this (which they problaby dont) then it would be a hole in the story.

actually i think it was mentioned that the Qunari in Stens Nightmare were just copies of himself.

Holy hell, some of you people are ridicules. The world of Thedas was just created, and more specifically for video-games. Has it ever occurred to you numb-nuts that the longer the world goes, the more they define the world?

The Qunari are not considered human yet they look like big humans... OH NOES they don't look as human anymore! Damn, I didnt want different races to look unique. This is a welcome change, there is now more distinction between this race, and hopefully more with the other 2 races as well.

It always bothered me that the Qunari looked exactly like humans, but in-fact were not considered humans. And now, it actually makes since why an Ogre has horns all the sudden just cause his mother was a Qunari broodmother.

This is a new lore, a new world, and possibly and hopefully an extended and full of life franchise(the next best thing since Forgotten Realms/Planescape/Warhammer/ect), give it time to grow, you babies.

When it comes to this game,the trend among forum users seems to be "any change=bad change". I really wish they'd just go dust off "Baldur's Gate" and play that a million times if that's the game they want so much.

[Meltemph]

Well it is like the **** do they expect a perfectly fleshed out world this ****ing fast? I mean I know most people here are to young to realize how many changes Forgotten Realms went through(pre 3.0 even), but at least do some homework so you realize how a world like this is created, and so you do not look like a bunch of spoiled children.

You're thinking of dwarves

I'll stick with Mr. Gaider's explaination of the horned qunari.It makes sense:

thats just body paint right they are still the same color as sten right

You do know that humans come in different colors, right?

Mr.Gaider I was wondering if it's not too soon or too much of an spoiler could you please explain the difference between an horned and unhorned Qunari? is it something akin to genitics like maybe different races of qunari like the difference between an Caucasian person and an Asian person?

It may be genetic-- I'm hesitant to get into a discussion of genetics in fantasy races, but certainly the Talmassrans selectively breed qunari and from the nature of qunari society it might not be too far a stretch to suppose that they breed them to suit their roles more closely.
Hornless qunari are not rare freaks of nature-- simply uncommon. Most of the Ben-Hassrath are hornless, for instance, and thus your average qunari might be forgiven for thinking that a lack of horns is very intimidating.

We don't know a whole lot about the qunari.So to say "this is not how they are.." about the horned qunari after only seeing a handful of the ones in DA:O is jumping the gun.We've seen alot more humans,elves and dwarves than qunari and even then,
there might be variations amongst them in other parts of Thedas.I'm going to repeat what others have said; the Ogres are qunari darkspawn and they have horns.Do the horns just come along with being a darkspawn? No. Why? Because Hurlocks,Genlocks and Shrieks don't have them.This supports the idea that some qunari are born with them.Just because we haven't seen them yet doesn't mean they don't exist.
I like the fact that the qunari are a bit obscure.I like surprises.

I always think that a Gorilla is like a cousin to me, thanks mr. Gaider...

What the F..K is that explanation? Something like racial traits are not so dramatic like the canghes in Qunari appearance. And we havve seen a lot of Qunari mercenaries in the previous game... Are all of them casually special?? I'm pretty sure the Qunari in DA 2 will be an opponent, and they will be only horned... They need to put some cooler demon like opponent, so they changed the Qunari to appeal people and they are making silly excuses for the change... That's all. 

No genetic, no other reason... They needed a cooler opponent, they chose Qunari to fill the role and change them to fit the idiotic wish of childish people who want to beat some monsters instead of an human-like race....

The Qunari originally had horns.

Didn't they have tails back when they were themor?

Indeed. I'd love to see the original concept art for the qunari, but I suspect BioWare would worry about confusing people.

I think there was a link somewhere. Although my favourite is our PC and what might have been Morrigan in the temple at Haven in the old Aurora engine preview.

Old engine DA:O is made of win.
